Chapter 206 Visiting the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
Early morning! After a sumptuous breakfast at the hotel, Wu Xuan went directly to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. From afar, he could see a man and a woman waiting at the gate.
The man looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with long black hair simply tied back with a ribbon. Wu Xuan recognized him at a glance; it was Ji Juechen, whom he had defeated on the arena.
As for the woman, her appearance and figure were very ordinary, and she looked quite unremarkable. At first glance, she probably looked to be in her thirties. She was definitely the type who would be easily lost in a crowd.
Seeing Wu Xuan, Ji Juechen immediately went up to him and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Brother, I benefited greatly from that battle the other day. I hope you will be here to teach me again another day."
"You're too kind. I also benefited greatly from sparring with Brother Ji that day," Wu Xuan replied, cupping his hands in return.
"So you're Yang Xuan! Hello, my name is Jing Ziyan. I heard you defeated Lao Ji and Ma Rulong in the arena a few days ago, that's impressive! Let's have a spar sometime." A plain-looking woman said.
"Sure, I'll allow you both to come at me then." Hearing the familiar name again, Wu Xuan smiled slightly.
"Alright! You said it yourself. Let's go, Lao Ji and I will show you around our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and then we'll meet at the Soul Tool Testing Area." Jing Ziyan cracked her knuckles, full of fighting spirit.
"Okay!" Wu Xuan nodded and followed the two towards the main gate.
Just as they reached the gate, two guards stopped the three of them. The guards scanned the three of them and finally stopped on Wu Xuan: "This student looks unfamiliar!"
Jing Ziyan stepped forward and took out a notice: "This is Yang Xuan, who has been approved by Director Lin Jiayi to visit our academy. This is the permit."
The guard took the notice, glanced at it, and then smiled: "I see. But we still have to follow the academy's rules. Go to the registration desk and go through the procedures!"
Wu Xuan nodded and followed the two into a room inside the gate. At Shrek Academy, besides inner court students, outer court students had to have their identities checked before entering and leaving the academy, so Wu Xuan understood the gatekeepers' rules.
As soon as they entered the small room, an elderly man of about fifty stood up and pointed to a metal cylinder beside him, saying, "This is a soul power testing device. Its purpose is to measure soul power levels. It's harmless to the human body. Just stand inside the cylinder."
Wu Xuan carefully examined the metal cylinder in front of him. This so-called soul power testing device was a full two and a half meters tall, a long vertical cylinder with a crystal column running from top to bottom on the front. In front of it was a circular platform.
Wu Xuan stood on the platform below.
The old man walked to the side of the device and placed his palm on a palm-shaped indentation.
"Relax your whole body, let's begin," the teacher said. Wu Xuan only saw a sudden surge of rich soul power emanating from him, most noticeable on his arm, where a white halo could be clearly seen flashing. Immediately afterward, a white light lit up at the top of the soul power testing device.
"Hmm! Level 65, you're a Soul Emperor?" The old man looked at Wu Xuan's young face with surprise.
"Of course, otherwise who do you think has such a big face that Old Ji and I would go to greet you?" Jing Ziyan said unsurprisedly.
"Alright, go in!" The old man waved his hand to indicate that the registration was complete and handed Wu Xuan a map.
Stepping into the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the first impression is its sheer size, significantly larger than Shrek Academy. It's divided into three areas, with the Soul Master Holy Land, Mingde Hall, located at the center of the experimental area.
Unlike Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, lush with vegetation and brimming with life, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is filled with a metallic aura. Strangely shaped soul tools are everywhere, their exquisite craftsmanship far surpassing that of the three great empires. Some are barely discernible as functional, but many are high-quality soul tools unlike anything seen before.
"Old Ji is such a blockhead, let me introduce our academy to you!" Seeing Ji Juechen standing there silently for so long, Jing Ziyan stepped forward enthusiastically.
"Alright! Thank you for your help." With someone to explain and lead the way, Wu Xuan was happy to oblige.
The three continued forward, with Jing Ziyan explaining as they walked, "Our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is mainly divided into three areas: the teaching area, the dormitory area, and the experimental area. This area ahead is the experimental area, which occupies more than two-thirds of the entire academy's area. In the very center of the experimental area, there is a section exclusive to Mingde Hall. Only Mingde Hall students can enter. Of course, once you, Yang Xuan, enter Mingde Hall, you can come and go as you please."
"Hmm, I understand," Wu Xuan nodded calmly.
The three continued forward, and large rows of teaching buildings came into view.
"This is the teaching area. There are twelve teaching buildings in total, representing six grades, with two buildings for each grade. Our academy doesn't differentiate students by age. Besides the requirement that students must possess a Soul Master strength of level ten or higher, have a Soul Ring, and be no older than twelve upon enrollment, age is no longer a crucial factor in grade division after entering the academy. As long as your strength reaches the level of a Level One Soul Master, you can enter the second year. Reaching the level of a Level Two Soul Master allows you to advance to the third year."
"Of course, there are time restrictions too. If you haven't reached Level 3 Soul Master by the age of eighteen, you'll have to leave the academy and fend for yourself. But if you can achieve this, you can stay at the academy until you're at least twenty-five. Those who reach Level 5 Soul Master before twenty-five are qualified to participate in the Mingde Hall assessment," Jing Ziyan explained.
Wu Xuan nodded in agreement. Compared to the numerous assessments at Shrek Academy's outer court, the learning atmosphere at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was significantly more relaxed.
After touring around, it was noon before they knew it, and the three of them went to the academy's cafeteria.
The lunch at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was far inferior to that at Shrek Academy's outer court, and the bland food made even the usually big-eater Wu Xuan restrain himself.
"Brother, we've seen enough of the academy this morning. Could we spar a bit more this afternoon?" After lunch, Ji Juechen, who looked like a fire poker, came to Wu Xuan and cupped his hands in greeting.
"Count me in!" Upon hearing about the fight, Jing Ziyan instantly became interested.
Looking at Ji Juechen, who had volunteered, Wu Xuan couldn't help but think more highly of him. "There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters," and this peer, whose eyes were only on swords, seemed even more fitting to say this than Gangzi from ten thousand years ago.
With innate soul power at level three, an unremarkable martial soul, and a first soul ring that, like most soul masters, was merely a useless soul skill to amplify soul power, he had managed to comprehend sword intent on his own, embarking on a completely different path to becoming a powerful figure.
Everyone enjoys dealing with such a simple-minded genius, and Wu Xuan was no exception.
"Alright! Just like this morning, you two can come at me together," Wu Xuan said with a slight smile.
"Hey! You're serious? Come on, let's meet in the test area. I want to see if you're really that good," Jing Ziyan said indignantly. This was the first time she had been looked down upon.
